- Abstract: We present WEARDA, the open source WEARable sensor Data Acquisition software
package. WEARDA facilitates the acquisition of human activity data with
smartwatches and is primarily aimed at researchers who require transparency,
full control, and access to raw sensor data. It provides functionality to
simultaneously record raw data from four sensors -- tri-axis accelerometer,
tri-axis gyroscope, barometer, and GPS -- which should enable researchers to,
for example, estimate energy expenditure and mine movement trajectories. A
Samsung smartwatch running the Tizen OS was chosen because of 1) the required
functionalities of the smartwatch software API, 2) the availability of software
development tools and accessible documentation, 3) having the required sensors,
and 4) the requirements on case design for acceptance by the target user group.
WEARDA addresses five practical challenges concerning preparation, measurement,
logistics, privacy preservation, and reproducibility to ensure efficient and
errorless data collection. The software package was initially created for the
project "Dementia back at the heart of the community", and has been
successfully used in that context.

We investigate the scaling properties of sensor foundation models across compute, data, and model size.
Using a dataset of up to 40 million hours of in-situ heart rate, heart rate variability, electrodermal activity, accelerometer, skin temperature, and altimeter per-minute data from over 165,000 people, we create LSM.
Our results establish the scaling laws of LSM for tasks such as imputation, extrapolation, both across time and sensor modalities.

Human Pose Estimation (HPE) to assess human motion in sports, rehabilitation or work safety requires accurate sensing without compromising personal data.

One promising self-supervised task is 3D point cloud forecasting from unannotated LiDAR sequences.
We show that this task requires algorithms to implicitly capture (1) sensor extrinsics (i.e., the egomotion of the autonomous vehicle), (2) sensor intrinsics (i.e., the sampling pattern specific to the particular LiDAR sensor), and (3) the shape and motion of other objects in the scene.
We render point cloud data from 4D occupancy predictions given sensor extrinsics and intrinsics, allowing one to train and test occupancy algorithms with unannotated LiDAR sequences.
